"WILLIAM HEWIG, OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE PARAGON BRASS MANU- FACTURING COMPANY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.

PLUMBING FIXTURE.

Application filed February My invention relates to plumbing fixtures and particularly to a fixture provided with a soap tray.

The object of the invention is to provide a fixture of a certain type with a soap tray which may be easily attached and detached, which is simple in andeconomical of construction and which when in place will be firmly supported.

The said invention consists of means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the annexed drawing:

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a fixture embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 represents a section in the plane indicated by line II-II in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 represents a section in the plane indicated by line IIIIII, Fig. 2.

The illustrated embodiment of my invention includes a structure consisting of two valve controlled upright duct members 1-1, to which the supply pipes 22 may be con nected; a transverse duct-member 3; the common nozzle 4 for the said member 3, and the legs 55 by means of which the fixture may be secured to the upper edge portion 6 ofa laundry tub 7 (shown in dotted lines).

The structure thus far described is of a well-known and accepted design.

The upper part of member 3 is however provided with an upwardly projecting integral lug 8 centrally placed thereon as shown in Fig. 2, which engages a hole 9 formed in a rearwardly extending horizon tal wing 10 forming an integral part of a soap tray 11. The latter is provided with the usual peripheral flange 12 and the wing 10 forms an extension thereof substantially parallel with the bottom 13 of the tray, Fig. 3.

An integral lug 14 is punched out of the 16, 1925. Serial No. 9,433.

bottom of the tray and forms a continuation of the rear flange portion.

The hole 9 is so placed that when it e11- gages the lug 8 and the tray is horizontal, the'said lug will engage the front surface of the transverse member 3, in which position, Fig. 2, the rear flange portion will engage the front surfaces of the upright member F 11, thus fixing the tray firmly in place.

Furthermore the width of the wing 10 is substantially equal to the distance between the members 11, Fig. 2, so that additional bearing for said wing is provided, thus still further contributing to the firmness of the support for the tray.

To remove the tray it is merely necessary to lift it up so as to disengage the wing from the lug 8, as will be understood.

hat I claim is:

1. In a plumbing fixture, the combination with two upright duct members connected by a transverse duct member; of a soap tray having its body portion in front of said upright members and a rearwardly extending wing located between same and attached to said transverse member.

2. In a plumbing fixture, the combination with two upright duct members connected by a transverse duct member, the latter being provided with an upwardly projecting lug; of a soap tray extending outwardly from said upright members and provided with a rearwardly extending wing located between said upright members and having an opening therethrough loosely engaging said lug; said tray being further provided with a downwardly extending lug at the rear of the body portion thereof and resting against said tranverse member.

Signed by me this tenth day of January,

WILLIAM HEWIG.
